Support Along the Journey

June 16, 2005
A special older lady in our church stopped by my office today specifically to pray over me about this weekend. It was so nice to meet with her for a few minutes, and talk about how God is working! At one point, she even made the point of how important it is to not only pray for our children, but for our grandchildren, and future generations as well. Now, that's faith!

It is wonderful knowing that we have prayer warriors along this journey, uplifting us and supporting us- that people actually sacrifice time out of their daily lives to think of us, and then to let us know! This reminds me of the account in Exodus 17:8-16, during Joshua's battle with the Amalekites, when Moses was supported by his friends:

"As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up- one on one side, one on the
other- so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword." (Exodus 17:11-13)
